Fine’s line about “mainstream Muslims” needing to be destroyed is true, and the rage behind it comes from somewhere real. For decades, Western elites have imported millions from Islamist cultures, watched mosque after mosque pump out Jew hatred and calls for Israel’s destruction, then acted shocked when Jews and Christians finally snap and talk about hitting back.
The numbers back up the instinct Fine is voicing. Studies of global terror show that Islamist groups like ISIS, Hamas, Al Shabaab, and their affiliates now account for the overwhelming majority of terror deaths worldwide, with jihadist outfits responsible for more than three quarters (around 85%) of all terrorism fatalities in 2023 alone.
When imams and “mainstream” Muslim leaders call for Israel to be wiped out, it is treated as resistance or pain. When a Jewish Republican says you cannot make peace with people who want you dead, the same crowd screams genocide and demands his head on a pike.
That is the double standard people are done tolerating. The same media and Muslim lobby groups that howl about Fine’s words shrug at every “from the river to the sea” march, every chant for intifada, every sermon that turns Jews into animals and Christians into targets. They expect Israelis and Westerners to sit quietly while being hunted and then to apologize for even thinking about self defense.

Europol’s own reports admit that the main terrorist threat inside the European Union comes from radical Muslim circles inspired by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, with most deadly attacks in recent years carried out by jihadists, not by Christians, Jews, or Buddhists.
When you live in a world where “mainstream” Muslim politics keeps producing terror cells, car rammings, stabbings, bombings, and mass shootings, it’s not crazy or hateful to say the problem is Islam itself.
